Coming Comics: Why I Am Looking Forward to November

Everyone is talking about the September War, but I am finding myself looking forward to November the most. For me, November is shaping up to be the best month of the year. Christmas is coming a month early for me.

Harley Quinn will have her own New 52 title.

Harley Quinn will have her own New 52 title.

Harley Quinn #0

Harley Quinn #0 will finally be hitting store shelves in November and one of my favorite characters will finally have the chance to shine on her own. At the same time, Diamond is offering three new Harley t-shirts and is rereleasing four more. I am already adding some of these to my Christmas list.

Shahrazad #1 From BDI

Big Dog Ink is offering up the first issue of Shahrazad during November. I am looking forward to reading the title by Kim Hutchison as I love when women write about strong female characters. Shahrazad follows the famous female character from 1001 Arabian Nights. I am hoping it lives up to my expectations.

Ghost Launches from Dark Horse

I have been awaiting the launch of Ghost from Dark Horse for a long time now. I want to see how the company does with the title and am hoping it will be successful to distract fans from simply talking about how the company may or may not lose the Star Wars rights. Hopefully, the company can gain some successes away from the Star Wars genre. I have been a fan of the past iterations of Ghost. Hopefully, this iteration will live up to the past.

Nightcrawler

How can I complain about a month in which Nightcrawler comes back to the Marvel Universe? I can see myself counting down the days until I can read new stories invoving my favorite blue mutant.

Cataclysm

We have not seen a universe-ending crossover in a long time. Yes, I fully believe the Ultimate Universe is done for. I am looking forward to seeing how everyone gets knocked off. Yes, we have seen the Ultimate Universe destroyed before, but I could take seeing another run at it.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Granted, this has nothing to do with comics – but I love Thanksgiving dinner.

X-Men Gold #1

Join some of the top X-Men writers of all time with some of the greatest artists? Yes. Dennis – take my money.

Justice League Dark

The formation of the new team begins. While I will be sad to see some of my favorites go, I like the new additions we have heard about to this point.

Batman and Carrie Kelly

This was the teamup many of us have been waiting for. I wish they would stop beating around the bush and either make Carrie Kelly the new Robin or bring Damian back from the dead. Yes, the teamups have been good, but it is time to end the cycle and bring some permanance. This was the last teamup I was waiting for. Seeing that they are pushing Batman and Two-Face for December, I guess my hope will continue to be ignored.

Manifest Destiny #1

An interesting offering comes out in November from Image. Manifest Destiny follows Louis and Clark as they discover the horrors of North America. I love mixing horror with history and will at least be picking up the first issue.

Strangeways #1

Image has another interesting premiere with Strangeways #1. A detective who specializes in the paranormal stumbles over weird creatures. With The X-Files and Kolchak: The Night Stalker being among my favorite shows of all time, I am popping with the idea of a new dark offering along those lines.

Two Trades To Pick Up

There are two trades which I will be picking up in November. Miss Fury and Mark Waid’s Green Hornet are comics which I have wanted to start reading but have not been able to fit into my stack. The first trades from each will be the perfect starting point for me.

Thor: The Dark World

I can forget about the BIG premiere of the month. How could I? My wife has been reminding me everyday for months. She loves her some Hemsworth.
